Blue House supervisor enters plea in court

A former supervisor at the Blue House brothel has entered a plea agreement in the local case against her and four other suspects.

Freda Eseun pleaded guilty to felonious restraint as a third-degree felony, said Assistant Attorney General Nelson Werner. The plea deal requires Eseun to testify against the other suspects in the Blue House case, which includes three police officers.

Eseun will not be sentenced until after she cooperates at the upcoming Blue House trial, Werner said.

The Blue House was a brothel in Tamuning that was open from 2004 to 2008. Brothel owner Song Ja Cha and three officers who allegedly assisted the brothel - David Manila, Anthony Quenga and Mario Laxamana - are expected to go to trial within the next few months.

During a Superior Court of Guam hearing today, attorneys spent several hours debating almost 20 motions in the case, including some that seek to dismiss the case or split it into several trials.
